“Oh, right. One last thing,” Natalie piped up, seeing as he hadn't gone insane yet. She decided to tell him everything
since it looked as if he could still take it.
“You actually had anywhere from one to two decades to live,” she said as she looked straight at him.
Harrison could guess what she was about to say and he began to tremble. “Y-you...”
As if she knew what he was going to say, Natalie smirked. “Susan was sick of you, and together with Warren, they
plotted to poison you. She wanted you to die seemingly of natural causes. That way, everything in your will would
go to her, your partner. Do you finally understand why you suddenly collapsed?”
Harrison stared at the ceiling with wide eyes as if Susan was hovering there.
“B*tch. That wh*re!”
It turned out he had never been sick, just poisoned.
Poisoned by Susan.
That woman hadn't just cheated on him for more than twenty years, she had also led him to blindly love and raise a
bastard child for that same amount of time. Now, she was actively trying to kill him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHarrison felt both angry and sad, but above all, he felt fear.
Yes, fear.
The woman whom he shared a bed with had been a toxic, venomous person all along, and yet, he had slept in the
same bed with this snake of a person for so long with absolutely no idea.
He didn't love her, but after so long, he had naturally come to see her as his family.
He had even thought about how Susan, being younger than him, would die after him. He had been planning to
prepare her retirement home, so she would be in good hands after he passed.
But she—
Harrison pounded his own chest. “I see. It's karma. All karma! Hahaha!”
He laughed through the streams of tears coming down his cheeks and finally laid still.
Natalie froze.
Crap. Has he actually kicked the bucket?
She reached out to check if he was still breathing and heaved a sigh of relief when she felt a faint exhale on her
finger. Then, she turned to press the emergency button.
Soon enough, the doctors rushed in and began saving him.
On the other hand, Natalie just walked out without watching.
The moment she stepped out, she saw Jared sobbing in the corridor, and Shane, who was standing next to him,
with an impatient look on his face.
“Jared,” Natalie called gently.
Jared looked at her through his tears. “Nat?”
“He heard everything,” Shane told Natalie.
She chewed her lip. “Everything?”
“Yeah.” Shane nodded.
Natalie sighed. “I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Jared. I bet you think I'm sick for telling him all this even on
his deathbed.”
“No! Even if he doesn't die right now, he'll die soon enough. He had to know eventually. I'm not crying because of
him, anyway; I'm crying because Mom had to live with a man like that for more than twenty years,” Jared said as he
shook his head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs a matter of fact, he wasn't sad about Harrison at all. He was crying because of his mom.
Natalie smiled. “Yeah. Mom went through a lot, didn't she? I don't know why she even fell for Harrison. He's a
misogynist and besides, Smith Group only thrived because Mom was managing it. He was completely useless and
even blamed Mom for being too overbearing.”
“Yeah! And he cheated, too. Luckily, he ended up getting a taste of his own medicine,” Jared said with a nod.
Natalie then reached out and ruffled his hair. “For someone like Harrison, you can never share weal with him, only
woe. He's only like this now because he's getting what he deserved.”
“Shane?” Jared suddenly looked up at Shane.
“What?” Shane looked at him.
“Are you going to cheat on my sister like Harrison did and then chase her and your children out of your home?”
Jared asked seriously.
Natalie hadn't expected him to ask such a strange and admittedly rude question, but she had to admit that she was
curious about Shane's answer as well.
Right away, Shane looked right past Jared and at Natalie. “No. I won't cheat, and I'll never even dream about
chasing your sister or our kids out.”
